More on the ammonia thing, which has turned up in even more of the contact stories than I thought, and was also cited by the reddit biologist post a few months ago.

Yeah, I had to resort to spamming emotes to get through that. Totally mind-boggling that they put that section right after 3 other sections since the last checkpoint. The spring section was also pretty bad, and it had 2 sections before it that had to be repeated every time you fell. Just meh all...

I'm taking a break from it since I got to Genichiro (and gave him the one try as a fun test run). Got too much going on between now and the new year, so I might not resume it until then. Hopefully my ability to play doesn't atrophy in the meantime (it shouldn't, not in that short a span).

That's pretty sick. Finishing UF in 28 hours is also pretty sick. No idea what the record is but I imagine this is in contention, with the keys factored in of course.

Much better than any actual announcements coming out of this crew. It's bonkers how they have people spelling it out for them and still manage to be clueless about how to get people pumped.

Did you do a CT dungeon crawl? I remember doing something like that at level 40ish (I think) back in 2000, trying to get the Ravenscale armors in my failed run as a rogue. It took a whole evening and replacing group members as people left, but I got every piece of Ravenscale. It's probably my...

So phase 2 is the real battle? Lightning countering looks really fun in videos so I hope I get it down. Wo Long taught me parrying and made me a lot more competent for this game, but you can get through most of Wo Long using the same strategies for every boss fight. Being able to level up also...

Mario Wonder's very last level (after 100%ing the rest of the game) has to be the hardest level in Mario history. Mostly because it's super long and they went stingy on checkpoints. After a couple hours I reached full "I'm too old for this shit" mode and switched to Nabbit for the first time all...

No way, I don't think there's anything positive about "saving up for one big donation" considering that the whole time he was namedropping a bunch of organizations they were actively "working with", implying money. I might have wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but he doesn't deserve...

Oh man, I had so much beef with Twilght Princess. I was looking forward to playing it for years, expecting Ocarina of Time 2.0. I finally get a Wii in like 2010 or so and the game was all brown and dull and the special items were basically useless outside of being a gimmick in their dungeon, as...

I wasn't going "DOYYYY, is this real??" I was about 99.9% sure it was an ad and making sure I wasn't missing anything, so fuck off! It reminds me of all those "medicare" things they send to senior citizens telling them that they need to call a particular number to re-up their coverage. They...

This is an ad, right? Been getting these official-looking "your warranty needs to be re-upped" mails for like 3 years now and they're always hyperventilating that my warranty is about to run out. The car is a 2017 and I believe the factory warranty ran out in 2020, so they were on the ball in...

"Secreting waste through their pores (the way we sweat)" is interesting because I've read similar things in other places. Most notably, I think the Varghina alien was doing that (secreting some kind of waste) and it gave off a strong ammonia smell according to the witnesses. That is, if I'm...

That would be a good way to get people into underutilized zones to get uncontested camps and try for rare drops. @Regime Hiero Cloak in Dalnir bay-beeee!

Alright, I'm gonna hold off on the apes until after Genichiro. It feels like I've already played the whole game since I've watched so many clips of it over the years. Think I've seen every boss. Is Genichiro about the halfway point of the game like I've heard? Also it would be awesome if I had...

I have no idea. He didn't have any particular stated goal. Every year the charity events would be touted as "going directly to alzheimer's research". On multiple occasions he name-dropped University of San Francisco saying that his charity was one of their top funders. Also name dropped a few...

I'm looking at this to save myself some problems later on since I'm about 75% sure I'll end up going for the platinum: https://www.powerpyx.com/sekiro-shadows-die-twice-trophy-guide-roadmap/ Headless Ape isn't the same thing as Guardian Ape right? Cause it says not to go past Guardian Ape or...

The guy who exposed Heritage Auctions (Karl Jobst) and another guy released a series of videos exposing a very prominent (and particularly beloved) gaming Youtuber for collecting charity donations (for ten years) and not actually donating them. After being exposed, prominent gaming guy made a...

Nope. You can get to them before Genichiro? I looked pretty much all over the place and the only ways forward I found were the Folding Monkey idol (doesn't work yet) and the locked door after the centipede guy (no key). The only thing I didn't do that I found was this one miniboss in the cavern...

Defeated Genichiro Ashina on the first try. Does that mean I have the hang of the game now? Then his second form beat me, unfortunately. I've never had a chance to try countering lightning yet so I just ran away when he did that. What did me in was running out of posture from his chain attacks...

Unsure. I just saw the one trailer from the other day and it looked like Leviathan was involved, had a water themed title. Also saw Omega in there though. So there are two DLCs, one that's out and one upcoming?

Mutahar responds to Jirard's response... by playing a bunch of clips of Jirard contradicting himself. At the very least Jirard lied a LOT to people and it's gonna be pretty hard to give him any credibility in the future. The charity is totally over and done with, that's for sure. I don't think...

What rustles my jimmies today: These fucking modern rappers stealing legendary songs of yesteryear and making them "theirs". "Walk On By" is one of the great classic songs. This creepy Doja Cat weirdo steals the song basically 1:1 and layers a bunch of cultural grafitti all over it (cuss words...

Just looked around the room and counted. 3 internet-connected listening devices in the room, 4 when a particular thing is turned on, 5 if the TV counts (it isn't a Samsung, it's an LG, so probably not). I bet most people would have more than that if they stopped and took an inventory. Kind of...

That's good to know, so my aiming for perfect parries isn't useless after all.

Beat Lady Butterfly. Really not bad at all once I figured out how the game works. Being able to mash parry actually kind of breaks the game. I think Wo Long was harder in the parry department. Still aiming to parry on-timing because it's a lot more fun. Also downed Armored Knight (Roberrrrrrt)...

Looks like it adds a Leviathan chapter to the game. Leviathan was notably missing from the base game and there was definitely a part of the game where it felt like a chapter was missing, so I'm guessing this was supposed to be in the base game and didn't get finished in time. If I ever replay...

Can vouch for both of those. Also liked Diofield Chronicles and that one kinds goes under everyone's radar. It isn't a pure tactics game but it's similar enough.

I wonder if the ESG money is ever going to "run out" at this point. It seems like there's more money devoted to this communist subversion than most countries have in their coffers.

There have been entire pages-long tangents in this thread about controversies over people and companies I couldn't give less of a shit about, and that's fine. This is a topic that's big news in the Youtube space and people who are familiar with the guy (or more importantly donated to his...

Yeah I've figured that part out, was surprising. I time my parries and do fine with that, but when I just mash the button...I do fine that way too. Got the hang of it. It really is almost musical in how it plays. Slash Lady Butterfly a few times until she starts blocking, then start tapping...

Gelnika...that the Shinra plane? Maybe they just moved it. Rocket Town might have an airport. It might also be the Tiny Bronco. IDK, having late disc 2 stuff would be a bad sign (meaning they're rushing through or skipping huge amounts of stuff) but having Cid show up way earlier is also a bad...

It seems like they want people to associate this with World, considering it's also "MHW" and "Wilds" is somewhat similar-sounding of a word... hopefully they back that up by actually making it the next World.

Only reason to really care about this is if you're a fan of the guy in question (or are at least familiar with him). Or are a donor.

Any way you slice it, he lied about money "going directly to (whoever)" at every Indieland, and they only donated the money once someone called them out. I don't think any laws were broken, but it's all Very Weird.

What I'm playing: SEKIRO.

Yeah, I think he's accessible immediately after that first horse boss. Got Ashina Arts, tempted to do some level grinding to forage my way into that skill tree. Nothing from it yet, this was the last thing I did this morning. That overhead-slash at the beginning of Ashina looks pretty great...

Is this the first real PS5 game built ground-up in UE5? Unfortunately it's probably gonna be one of those "framerate or nice visuals?" situations where I have to drop the settings down to "normal game" level for it to move quickly. I mean if they can just get the FPS up to like 50 while...

Was Hogwarts just completely left out of the nominations? It was potentially a top 5 game of the year objectively speaking, so while I wouldn't expect it to beat Zelda or Baldur, it should have been nominated for a few things at least.
